My mistake. I misunderstood the meaning of -msse3 (it only enables
the sse3 builtins). Please ignore.

Hi,
I know this has been discussed in bug 18668. But I'd like to bring
it up again.
Currently, fisttp is only generated with -march=prescott. The
argument is fisttp is not a SSE instruction. While this is
technically true, it's likely to surprise the users. Intel, after
all, does lump fisttp in SSE3. AMD64 architecture programmer's
manual also explicitly state fisttp is a SSE3 instruction.
Please consider enabling fisttp with -msse3.
Thanks,
Evan
